Spotlight on Sandwell U3A (University of the Third Age)

Sandwell U3A (University of the Third Age) is a charity reflecting the aspirations of older people in Sandwell.  The U3A is devoted to learning and providing social activities for its members: people who are no longer in full- time employment.

The group is based at West Bromwich Community Centre, Gayton Road in West Bromwich. There is an annul membership fee of £15, but visitors can pay £2 per meeting, for up to three general monthly meetings.  Should a visitor wish to continue attending after three meetings, you will be asked to pay the annual membership fee.  ‘Newsroundup’ is issued at general monthly meetings, giving details of events  and activities for the following month.  Members receive a copy of the Third Age Trust quarterly magazine.

Sandwell U3A offers many activities including art classes, assistance to improve computer skills and music classes.  Have you always wanted to learn a new language? You can choose from German, Greek, Italian or Latin.

The group go on outings to places of interest and trips to the theatre.  You can attend swimming lessons and so much more!
